CHARLES TAZE RUSSELL Meaning and
Definition
-
Charles Taze Russell (1852-1916) was an influential religious leader and founder of the religious group known as the International Bible Students Association, later named Jehovah's Witnesses. He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and exhibited a strong interest in religious and biblical studies from a young age.
Russell's theological teachings formed the basis of a distinct form of non-Trinitarian Christianity. He championed the belief that Jesus Christ's second coming had already occurred invisibly in 1874 and that his imminent kingdom on Earth was about to be established. Russell's teachings rejected key doctrines of mainstream Christianity, including the concept of eternal hellfire and the Trinity.
Russell's most significant contribution was his publication of "Studies in the Scriptures," a series of biblical commentaries that aimed to interpret and explain the Bible's prophecies and teachings. He also founded and edited the religious magazine "The Watch Tower," which later became the official publication of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Although Russell's teachings were met with both admiration and controversy, his influence was undeniable. His establishment of a formalized religious organization laid the foundation for the growth of Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide. Russell's legacy continues to shape the beliefs and practices of this faith community, and his writings remain influential within their theological framework.
